I don't know about Yahoo, but one technique for static data is to run Squid or 
similar on multiple machines, with the Squid proxies obtaining the data they 
cache from a single master machine. I know one host that does this. What I don't 
know is how they force changes on the master machine to propagate more or less 
instantly to the caches.
